Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is. Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Miro just got acquired, I wonder what the new company will do. "often increasing revenue and lowering expenses (including by reducing headcount). The company employs full-stack developers to rewrite acquired codebases using artificial intelligence" Ah ...ah.
Bending Spoons enters into a definitive agreement to acquire Miro for $1.355 billion. Milan, Italy—September 10, 2026 | Bending Spoons S.p.A. (NASDAQ: BSP) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Miro at an enterprise value of $1.355 billion. Together with Miro’s net cash, this implies an equity value of approximately $1.79 billion. Bending Spoons S.p.A. is an Italian technology conglomerate founded in 2013. Based in Milan, the company acquires products (such as Airtable, AOL, Eventbrite, and Vimeo) with existing product‑market fit[4][5] and manages them for long-term ownership, often increasing revenue and lowering expenses (including by reducing headcount).[6][7] The company employs full-stack developers to rewrite acquired codebases using artificial intelligence, proprietary tools, and open-source software (often Python, FastAPI, and TypeScript).[8][9] On July 1, 2026, the company became a public company via an initial public offering on the Nasdaq in the United States

KO_OP: 🪐 Wishlist Young Suns on Steam! @ko-op.com · 10/09/2026
An important update from KO_OP.
With great sadness and respect, over the next few months KO_OP will be saying goodbye to 13 members of our team. This decision was made to ensure the survival of the studio, and we deeply regret its necessity and the negative impact on our colleagues’ lives.

KO_OP has been making games for nearly a decade and a half, and our project funding has primarily come from publishers and platform partners. The games funding landscape has changed radically over the last few years, and unlike previous project cycles, this time we have been unable to secure funding for new projects while developing our current engagements.

As with all our company's operational decisions, this one was made democratically, and was motivated by the survival of the studio rather than maximizing profits. Our members are regularly updated on our cash flow situation, and were made aware of this upcoming shortfall well in advance. Membership then appointed a group to plan for this eventuality, and ratified their recommendations. Team leads and our elected executives will also be impacted by these reductions. We believe this level of transparency and accountability ought to be a minimum requirement for all organizations.

Young Suns will be reaching new platforms, with new content and features. We're all tremendously proud of it, and hope it will find its audience. Our bylaws ensure that any profits from Young Suns will still be shared with impacted team members. Our goal now is to develop new game concepts and prototypes while continuing to support Young Suns. In the event that we secure funding in the coming months, our intent is to rehire as many of our colleagues as possible.

In the coming days we will be sharing a list of impacted workers in the hopes of helping them find new work. We thank you for your support.

Tajiri: People getting hyped up for a future that never materializes. I once saw a CD release that was literally just 500 tiny puzzle games crammed onto one disc.

Miyamoto: In a way that might actually be the smarter approach. That use of CD-ROM fully commits to leveraging the medium for what it is. Initially, there was an optimism about using CDs because people thought they would eliminate physical media costs entirely. But that would be a big problem for all the businesses who depend on physical media sales. They'd all go under. I probably shouldn't be saying stuff like this... (laughs)

Lately, though, everyone has started asking, "Who's actually going to make these massive-capacity games? Can a console even sell if developers don't want to make games for it?" And that's no good either.
